Clothes free from soil add much to personal ap pearance. To remove grass stains the follow ing suggestions are offered by Miss M. Jane Newcomb, assistant in home eco nomics extension at the Pennsylvania State College: wash in cold water without soap, rub with molasses, let stand a few minutes and wash in warm water. For tea and coffee stains boiling wa ter should be poured through the spot. If the stain is obstinate, rub with gly cerine or borax. As a last resort use Javelle water, which is made as fol lows: Put one-half pound of washing soda in an agate pan and add one quart of boiling water, mix one-half pound chloride of lime in two quarts of cold water and allow the mixture to settle, then pour the clear liquor se cured from the lime and water into the dissolved soda. Javelle water shouldbe kept in a colored bottle. To remove ink spots moisten with salt and lemon juice and lay the gar ment in the sun. Another method consists in applying alternately a few drops of oxalic acid and a few drops of Javelle water and rinsing the gar ment in warm water. This operation should be repeated until the spot has disappeared. Iron rust may bo removed by the lemon Juice and salt treatment ad vised for ink spots. To remove mil dew, wash the garment in a solution of chloride of lime or Javelle water. Chalmers Sedan Is Favorite at Show Milady has chosen the convertible sedan.

THE PANGS OF RHEUMATISM Cannot Be Rubbed Away With Liniments You who are afflicted with this most painful disease—who know from experience just how excruciating its pangs are—get this fact fixed firmly in your mind, and it will aid you in finding a way to a com plete recovery. Rheumatism cannot be rubbed away with liniments, —its pains and pangs cannot be wiped out as if by magic. A disease that is so full of torture and finally renders its victims so helpless, is a deep-seated one; it is not on the surface, hence it cannot be reached by external, surface remedies. This is no theory, for your own experience doubt less has shown you that you can never expect to rid your self of the disease in this way. For the chances are that you, like thousands of other suf ferers, have been misled in to the hope that liniments, lotions and other applications would cure your rheumatism. But what has been your ex perience? The pains possibly have been lessened for the time being, but have they not promptly returned, often with increased severity, and are you really any nearer a cure than before? You certainly are not, and you never will be as long as you rely upon treatment that at best is merely a make shift. Sec what Mr. J. L. Agnew, of Mt. Vernon, Ohio, says of his rheumatism: "For ten years I was badly afflicted with rheuma tism. the pains In my knees, legs and ankles being almost unbearable. I tried various remedies without results, until a physician advised me to use S. S. S: stating that the disease was In the blood. After taking a few bottles the pains and soreness were greatly lessened. I continued this medicine until all pain, soreness and Inflammation were Kone, and I was com pletely cured." J. J. AONET7, 606 E. Gambler Street, Mt. Vernon, Ohio. This is a typical case, and Houck, East Hanover: Francis Lents, Hush; Peter S. Blackwell, Steelton; George W. Raudenbusli, Williams- . town; William I- Forrer. Thomas Harrison, Hummeistown; George F. Madden, Steelton; Donald G. Hepford, Susquehanna. everyone who has had the slightest experience with rheu matism will continue to suffer and grow worse until they are finally practically helpless, un less they realize that the dis ease must be combatted at its source. Rheumatism is a dis eased condition of the blood, the disease attacks the body through the blood, hence the system can be rid of its pains only after the blood has been cleansed of the germs of the disease. Lotions, liniments and oint ments applied to the surface may in sortie cases deaden the pain for the time being, but until you attack the disease at its foundation, you are making no progress toward a cure, and you are permitting the trouble to get a firmer hold on your system every day. This is one reason why Rheumatism is usually a permanent disease, staying with its victims year after year. Geting rid of the disease is merely a matter of treating it intelligently. Know ing that it cannot be cured by external applications, it is folly to rely upon such treatment. S. S. S. is without question the most thorough blood medi cine ever made, and it prompt ly cleanses the blood of every trace of impurity or disease germs. That is why it never fails to give satisfactory results in even the severest cases of Rheumatism. Being purely vegetable without a particle of mineral or chemical in its com position,' it works by eliminat ing and forcing out of the blood all impurities and cleans ing it thoroughly, acting as a tonic to the entire system at the same time. It has been in use for more than fifty years, and thousands of sufferers from rheumatism give it un stinted praise. You are invited to write our medical department for full in formation and advice about the treatment of your own case, for which no charge is made.
